Queues are everywhere in the world. In Russia (yes, I'm from this country) sometimes you also have to wait for something standing in the queue. But what irritates me the most - is selective checking of your package in metro system of Saint-Petersburg (that's my hometown). I know, there was a terror act in our metro almost 3 years ago, but why is it selective? Why do our metro police guys think, that any terrorist will not be able to bring the bomb at any station now? Why can't they check everyone who's entering the metro of Saint-Petersburg? That would be more safe than selective checking!

The most irritating thing about British
, is lack of greeting, especially among people they do not know eachother. In my country when we enter the room ( grocery shop, classroom, gp waiting room) we say good morning or good afternoon and people answer to that. Here in Scotland, where I live, when I say good morning to classmates that Iam not in close relationship , they just stare at me with shock in their eyes.
I dont know if its about social status, showing who is superior- inferior or just lack of social skills but I find ignoring others very impolite and upsetting.

This exaggerated 'politness' irritates me too. Especially because it takes much more time to f.ex: take an appointment or solve a problem; there is too much talking and.. guessing instead of honesty. Being like this people steal our time, so our lives. Dutch are maybe a bit too direct, seems rather rude, but getting things done can.. save lives like now, in coronavirus situation, when governements are sluggish and slow, avoiding confrontation and taking direct decisions. Well, I prefer pragmatism in certan areas and situations.

Fake politeness and a lack of authenticity irritate many people in the world, I suppose. As for me, I don't like both rudeness and fake politeness, when people try to make an impression only, without sincerely feeling it. An emotion is a way to show your emotions, and if you haven't got them, why would you need to smile without reason, for example?

Well actually queueing is one of the things I love about British people. Once you are in the queue people behind you will respect your right. In my country, you have to be very alert when queueing for something to not let someone else jump the queue - and that is REALLY irritating.

Actually, I admire polite talking in Britsh. But sometimes it's make little difficult to say something. I mean talking of American is shorter than Britsh. But It's irritating me too. Sometimes, American is faster. Absolutely, For the first English learner will be hard to understand.

I know it's meant to be light hearted, but come the hell on! The teeth thing!? Really?
Perhaps you should make a series of them, just so you're not seen as imbalanced. When it comes to Spanish people, I have done ideas for the video

From my own experience I can say they are too polite in almost everything (which I'm not saying that is bad at all, on the contrary it is good and necessary, depending on the occasion) but sometimes it really freaks me out.

OK, the thing I hate about British people the most, especially after spending half a year in Britain, is that they can be really racist, especially the older men. The older they are, the more likely they're racist
